Fivem

Fivem, the multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile when paired with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. This combination of a mobile CPU and a high-end desktop GPU produces a dataset that reveals distinct bottlenecks depending on resolution and settings. The measured frames per second (FPS) across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions provide a clear picture of how this system scales under load. This analysis walks through the data step by step, interpreting what the scores mean for the overall experience.

Resolution Scaling

The most immediate observation from the measured FPS data is the dramatic impact of resolution on performance. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 239 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is the primary driver of performance at this lower resolution, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 157 FPS, which is a significant 34% reduction. This scaling indicates that the GPU is starting to become a more significant factor, but the system is still delivering a very high frame rate.

At 4K with Low settings, the average FPS falls to 87. This represents a 64% drop from the 1080p Low result. This steep decline illustrates that at 4K, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is being pushed considerably harder, and the workload is now heavily GPU-bound. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings shows a clear transition from a CPU-limited scenario at 1080p to a GPU-limited one at 4K. The data suggests that the RTX 4080, while powerful, cannot maintain the same frame rates at 4K as it can at lower resolutions.

The pattern holds across other settings presets. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 151 at 1080p to 99 at 1440p, a 34% drop, and then to 55 at 4K, a further 44% drop from the 1440p figure. This consistent decline across all presets confirms that resolution is the primary variable affecting performance. The 4K Ultra preset yields a 43 FPS average, which is a 63% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result of 117 FPS. This indicates that the combination of 4K resolution and Ultra settings is exceptionally demanding, pushing the system to its limits. The data shows that for smoother 4K gameplay, users would need to lower the settings preset.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of all tested hardware combinations for Fivem, this specific pairing of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 holds a rank of 941 out of 3005 combos. This places it in the 69th percentile of all tested systems. While not a top-tier ranking, it indicates that this combination performs better than the majority of other setups in the database. The rank reflects a balanced but not exceptional overall performance, likely due to the CPU's mobile nature, which can be a limiting factor in certain scenarios.

The GPU itself is a strong performer. The RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54247 and sits in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the RTX 4080 SUPER, which has an average score of 54209, a delta of just 0.1%. This shows that the standard RTX 4080 is nearly identical in performance to its SUPER counterpart. The data also shows it is slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, which has a score of 54828 and a delta of -1.1%. This solid GPU performance contributes significantly to the combo's rank.

The CPU, however, is less exceptional. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H has an average benchmark score of 32697 and is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600T, which scores 32707, a delta of 0%. This indicates that the Ultra 7 155H and the i5-14600T are essentially tied in average performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is also very close, with a score of 32662 and a delta of 0.1%. The CPU's performance is decent, but it does not stand out in the same way the GPU does.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings preset offers the best experience at each resolution. At 1080p, all presets are playable, but the diminishing returns between Medium and Ultra are worth noting. The Medium preset delivers an average of 189 FPS, which is a 22% increase over the High preset's 151 FPS. The Ultra preset at 117 FPS is still smooth, but it represents a 38% drop from Medium. For the highest possible frame rates in competitive scenarios, the Low preset at 239 FPS is the best choice. For a balanced visual and performance experience, Medium at 1080p offers an excellent compromise.

At 1440p, the Medium preset emerges as the clear sweet spot. It delivers an average of 124 FPS, which is a 25% improvement over High's 99 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 77 FPS, which is a 38% reduction from Medium. This makes Medium the recommended preset for 1440p, as it provides a high frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while still offering a significant visual upgrade over Low. The Low preset at 157 FPS is the choice for those prioritizing maximum performance.

At 4K, the situation changes significantly. The Ultra preset is the only one that dips below 60 FPS, with an average of 43 FPS. This is likely not a smooth experience for most users. The High preset at 55 FPS is on the edge of playability, but it may suffer from occasional stutters. The Medium preset at 69 FPS is the recommended starting point for 4K, as it provides a playable frame rate with a reasonable level of visual fidelity. The Low preset at 87 FPS is the best option for a consistently smooth 4K experience, prioritizing frame rate over visual quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this system, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. The card's base clock is 2205 MHz, with a boost clock of 2505 MHz. This substantial memory capacity and bandwidth are crucial for handling high-resolution textures and complex scenes that are common in Fivem's multiplayer environments.

The GPU's raw compute power is significant. It has 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. Its FP32 performance is rated at 48.74 TFLOPS, which explains its strong showing in the benchmark data. The card's average benchmark score is 54247, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. This performance is directly reflected in the FPS data, where the RTX 4080 demonstrates its strength at lower resolutions, delivering over 150 FPS at 1080p with High settings and 239 FPS at Low settings.

The GPU's role becomes more critical as resolution increases. At 4K, the demands on the GPU grow exponentially, and the measured FPS drops accordingly. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, as even with a powerful CPU, the frame rates decline sharply. The 16 GB of VRAM is a key asset for 4K gaming, as it allows the GPU to store the large textures and assets required without exceeding memory limits. The RTX 4080's performance relative to its nearest rivals, such as the RTX 4080 SUPER with a 0.1% delta, confirms that it is a top-tier graphics card.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 1, based on the Meteor Lake architecture. It has 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its thermal design power (TDP) is 28 W, which is indicative of its mobile focus. The CPU has a 24 MB shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR5 memory. This configuration provides solid multi-threaded performance for a mobile chip.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, with the Low preset hitting 239 FPS. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain these high frame rates. The CPU's average benchmark score is 32697, and it is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600T, has a score of 32707, showing they are essentially tied in performance.

However, the CPU's mobile nature may introduce a bottleneck in certain scenarios. The data shows that at 4K, the performance is heavily dependent on the GPU, but at 1080p, the CPU's performance is the key factor in achieving frame rates above 200. The 22 threads are beneficial for handling the many tasks in a multiplayer environment, such as network processing and game logic. The CPU's 28 W TDP, while efficient, limits its sustained performance compared to a desktop processor, which could explain why the combo's rank is 941 out of 3005, despite the powerful GPU.
